Thanks Tony. I will take a look.

Thanks Tony. I will take a look.
They have a minimum $100 order amount and on the number of each board type you have to buy. At this time I don't have that amount I need to get. Any other venues for similar wood strips that...
The resolution on my recent question about small parts.
The screen idea is the key so parts won't fall through the grid. I first tried to lay the wood directly on top of the screen but didn't...
Hi folks and thanks for the help. Here is an update. I used this and it worked great and saved me much time. Thinking that the black color would reduce the the back flash it wasn't bad but with...
Sweet! I was thinking the same thing. So the screen doesn't get cut?
Hello there folks. I cut a good amount of small items that tend to fall through or get stuck in the grid. This is a real pain since I have to remove the grid and gather up the parts and then...
A potential customer contacted me but their application needs a Fiber laser. Preferably in the Jersey Shore area (Monmouth, Middlesex, Ocean counties).
Application is the engraving of gun parts...
Nice! Let us know how it turns out.
Mike - Yes I am using air assist. I'll play around with some of the yellow scraps and see.
In this case it's not detailed at all. Just long straight cuts. I turn down very detailed jobs in acrylic now given the situation that you point out John. Had a really bad fire a couple of years...
I have found that when laser cutting yellow acrylic it tends to flame-up much more than other colors. Anyone have an idea of why that is?

My problem is resolved. It was a faulty solenoid.
Time for a new compressor. I did a search here and most of the air compressor posts are many years old and some of the
recommended ones are no longer available. Would like to get one that has a...
OK folks - Time for me to get a new compressor. I did a search here and most of the air compressor posts are many years old and some of the recommended ones are no longer available. Would like to...
It is a metal tube Mark. It never had any type of attachment on it. Think it would be safe to cut 1/8" acrylic at 10PSI air assist?
Epilog called and told me to reverse the solenoid which I did. With the laser idle the gauge on the compressor shows 30, when I engage the laser for a vector cut it drops to 10PSI. When I talked...
Let me first say that I appreciate all the technical details from everyone of what's going on and thanks for taking the time to respond. I purchased a new compressor back in February of this year...
Hey there Gary. I always glance at the gauge that is on the compressor, especially when cutting acrylic. So my observation is on the gauge showing a lower PSI now, which for the past 8 years has...
Here's the reply from Epilog when I told them I checked all the hoses:
This is a really simply system. Pump, solenoid, air assist tube, brass elbow, air assist tube, brass elbow, air assist...
It's one of the HF ones that I have been using for years. This problem just started to come up a couple of months ago.
Tank size:
Motor H.P.: 1/5
Max PSI: 58
CFM: .5@20PSI
Checked the hoses and didn't see anything obvious. I contacted Epilog via email and am getting nowhere. Guess it's such a rare thing that they may not have any troubleshooting steps to reference.
Update: I used my old compressor and I still have the same problem.
Thanks for the reply Dave. Don't know what it means though. If I disconnect the hose from the laser and cover the end with my finger, the compressor shows 30PSI. Connected to the laser it is...
I have my compressor set at 30PSI but during vector cutting it's showing 10-20PSI. It's been fine for years up until a month or so ago. I removed the hose from the back of the laser and blocked it...
Is this for every job or just the current one that you are trying?
